sorry to keep bothering you but i'd like to try and explain my situation one last time. despite tripping over my words I've been recording ad editing for some years now and recently the waveforms have changed for no apparent reason. I think it may be a glitch. here are two more pictures, one with regular zoom the other zoomed in considerably. In both I have an imported wave file in track 1 and then my audio tracks. you are the only one who has replied to me thank you so much Dave. and I have no idea why the photos are upside down they look fine on my phone sorry I think it'll do the trick though
